Thorn In The Flesh
Art Paul Schlosser · My Cat Was Taking A Bath & Dead Skunk Perfume Plus 23 Other Songs
What if God chooses for you a martyr death ?
Or maybe He has plans to make you unfamous and poor ?
Would you,could you still be grateful or do you want more ?
Chorus:
Oh it's easy
to be Christian
when the going is well
And we always
want things
that look so swell
But what if it's a thorn in the flesh
And you prayed and you prayed but God says accept
2.What if scholars and teachers start to praise your work ?
But you come to a moment in life when you got to make a decision
that hurts ?
And you know all your friends leave you and family treats you
like a jerk ?
Or you get put in prison for something you didn't deserve ?
